With the emergence of smart cities and the growing popularity of electric vehicles, the need for electric vehicle charging infrastructure, known as "charging piles," has become indispensable. In contrast to the conventional utilitarian designs, this product features a distinctive rounded landmark shape. Crafted from weather-resistant plastic and environmentally friendly paint, it ensures long-lasting aesthetics while advancing sustainability goals. Furthermore, the product incorporates an intelligent backend system and a dedicated charging service app, offering users a seamless, efficient, and secure charging experience.

To combat air pollution, more people are choosing electric vehicles, which produce no exhaust emissions. Charging stations are crucial for these vehicles. As the popularity of electric vehicles grows, there is a greater demand for charging stations in cities. In addition to high-performance, the design of these stations should be compact, attractive, and feature a simple, user-friendly interface. The goal is to create aesthetically pleasing and practical charging stations that cater to individual user needs while adding to the city's overall style.

The product is connected to a charging service app, allowing users to locate charging stations on a map. The team used this as a starting point, creating icons on the map and shaping the product's appearance. They incorporated classic and familiar shapes and colors to resonate with users. Additionally, the product is primarily made of high-performance plastic materials that are weather-resistant, UV-resistant, and flame-retardant. It features a lightweight structure, simplified assembly process, and a design that meets various safety certification requirements, providing users with the best charging station option.

This product is designed to provide users with a convenient and efficient charging experience. The plug-and-charge feature ensures seamless charging without interruptions. The compact size reduces the space it occupies. Additionally, the highly efficient output significantly reduces the charging time. The simple interface design allows users to easily understand the charging status. The associated charging service app and intelligent monitoring system ensure the safety of the charging process, preventing damage to the vehicle battery and providing users with peace of mind.
